These guidelines help users register VPNs easily. Businesses should comply to avoid complications related to security or accessibility.
As the situation develops, the PTA Chairman urged the public to stay informed through official sources. Although no suspensions are planned, the government will continue monitoring the protest and its potential impact.
In conclusion, the PTA Chairman provided clarity, assuring the public that no mobile service shutdowns will take place. Updates will follow as the situation unfolds.
